That is a nice looking potential choice



Are there any with cache buffers such as 8 meg?



I just installed an internal HD in my PC that has an 8 meg cache buffer at 7,200 and it is fast.



Just thought I would get you to consider the bigger cache buffer size.

Go to OWC (www.macsales.com). They sell a pretty good selection of drives, and they make it clear how much cache it has.



They also sell excellent FW drives and FW drive cases. Oxford 911 based, so they are top-shelf.



Try this
